Biography of
David Katz
 

David Katz is originally from Phoenix, Arizona where he began his formal voice training with Ruth Dubinaum.  It was at this time that he attended the Brandeis-Bartin Institute’s Young Artist Program.  The experience moved and inspired him so much that he decided to become a Cantor.  In 1993 he was accepted into the Hebrew Union College and in 1998 was ordained as as a Cantor.

Currently serving as the Cantor for the prestigious Raleigh Hotel in New York, he has since studied with some of the world’s leading cantors, composers and conductors including;  Eli Jaffe, conductor of the Great Synagogue Choir, Jerusalem; Cantor David Lefkowitz, Park Avenue Synagogue, New York; Cornelious Reid, world renowed voice teacher; and Cantor Noach Schall.

His musical comedy roles include Nanki Poo in The Mikado, and Ralph in Pirates of Penzance.  He was Woof in Hair as well as Huckleberry Finn in Big River. Cantor Katz also sang the leading role in the World Premiere of Robert Kaplan’s The Creation.

Cantor Katz concertizes throughout the United States singing Yiddish, Opera, Broadway, and Cantorial favorites.  He has also performed on behalf of B’nai B’rith, The American Conference of Cantors, and various children’s charities. He dedicates this and all of his performances to his wife Julia and child Rayna Danielle.  He feels they are like his voice, gifts from God.  It is their joy and love which filil him with the inspiration to sing.
